Kenny Knittle

By day, Coach Kenny is a mental health counselor who has his own practice in his hometown. He specializes working with student athletes at the collegiate and high school level. He helps them learn ways to improve their performance both in school and in sports. He has worked with athletes from almost any sport you can think of and has worked with students throughout the state. 

Coach Kenny has competed at every distance of triathlon. He enjoys the challenges at each distance and training for race day! When he isn’t coaching, you may find Coach Kenny on a quiet backroad putting down some miles. Kenny has been racing for many years and has a minor "problem" collecting bikes!

Throughout his journey in the sport he has travelled across the country to coach, race and participate in camps. He even learned how to become a guide for visually impaired athletes. One of his highlights was cheering his VI team he coached cross the finish line at Ironman Chattanooga as they completed thier first full Ironman!

During winter months, Coach Kenny is an Assistant Coach with the Blue Mountain High Boys and Girls Varsity Team. He is honored to be part of a great coaching staff who works with a highly talented and charismatic group of student athletes.  Not only are they smart, but they are fast. He has enjoyed being on deck seeing the team win league and district titles. The team has also seen significant succes with several individual and relay medalists to include 2 State Golds. 

If Coach Kenny smells like chlorine, that's because he spends a lot of time at the pool. When the high school swim season is over he also helps with the developmental programs and also runs Master Swim courses!
